(Not Quite) Hell on Wheels (open)
Huntress opened the throttle on her bike and increased her speed. The men on bikes ahead of her had been pulling away, but she wasn't going to let them get away. They were part of a gang who were pushing drugs to middle-school kids and Maria wasn't about to let them go anywhere but to the land of pain and jail. Preferably in that order.

She had been following them for a few days to learn their supply and distribution routes so she could bring down the whole gang and not just two little fishes. Tonight they were heading toward Metropolis to meet up with a fellow member who dealt in Metropolis. She gunned the throttle and closed the gap between them.

Huntress pulled up along side of one and grabbed her crossbow. She aimed and fire, the small arrow going into the front tire of the bike. The front tire deflated and the bike flipped, the back going up over the front. The man on it went flying off and hit the ground hard. He wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Huntress kept after the guy on the other bike and pulled up along side of him. She took aim, but he swerved toward her and she had to swerve to avoid him hitting her. She straightened out and half stood up, putting her weight on her hands. She put her right knee on the seat and kicked out with her left foot at the man on the other bike.

He wobbled a bit before losing control. His bike started to skid and the rear wheel hit hers. Not good. So not good. Her bike started to skid and there was only one thing left to do. Huntress jumped from the skidding bike and went flying through the air. She tried to adjust her position to make a somewhat reasonable landing, but she had been driving too fast for that. She hit the ground hard and with some bone breakage.

"Ow. Double ow." There wasn't a part of her body that didn't hurt and she was going to lie here and enjoy the nice hard ground for a bit.

	"I do," she said. "You're cute when you blush. Oh sweetie, I'm probably bad for you. The type of girl your momma warned you about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nice to see I have another purpose," she said with a grin. "I'm glad you find me entertaining and cute. It's a start." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I do. And, to be honest, its nice having someone I haven't known most of my life to hang out with a little. There's only a couple of those type of people around, a change of pace can be good. And... you are cute. I'm just not really in a good place to try anything too serious... but lunch and dinner dates and entertainment... are just fine, even if I blush easy."

	"I like making you blush," she said. Not that it wasn't obvious. She held up her glass. "To friends," she said. "and going from there wherever it goes or doesn't go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I've figured that out. Sooner or later you're going to have to get creative, I'll get used to your usual tactics." he raises his glass in turn. "To friends and whatever comes after." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That gets another raised eyebrow. "I'm not sure if I should be afraid, or looking forward to seeing what comes of that statement." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria gave him a mischievous smile. "I guess you'll have to see what happens to see which one would be correct." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Dinner crossbow_bat 2011-06-02 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Me?" she said with her best innocent smile. "I would /never/ do such a thing." She couldn't even say that with a straight face. She started laughing a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shakes his head, unable to keep from grinning. "Suuure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He winks. "Super hearing too. I can tell when you're lying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know. I was only teasing." The waitress brought their food. Maria inhaled deeply. "Mmmmm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Dinner first_son 2011-06-02 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	"I figured, you're good at it. Don't worry, no super mind reading. I don't know what you're up to, just that you're up to something." he teases. He takes his food and thanks the waitress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria thanked the waitress and smiled at Jon. "I'm always up to something." "Enjoy your dinner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He starts in on the food, using chopsticks with some proficiency. He may be a mostly burgers and fries kid, but he obviously knows his way around world cuisine, or at least some of it. "You too... and I should have known you'd say that." (Reply to this)(Parent)
